It was an amazing end to our week today! All the grade 5s participated in a 4km walk to collect water from the pits on Bird's Hill Road. It was really warm out . . . definitely the hottest day we've had yet this spring! Thanks to Mrs. Tresoor, Mrs. Dyck, Ms. Ross, Mr. Lewis, and some parent volunteers for joining us on the walk!
Today for our exit questions today, I asked:
- How many jugs did you carry?
- Would you want to do a water walk again?
- What did you learn from the experience?
The answers I got were terrific! I think the weather helped make the activity truly feel authentic! And, overall students expressed appreciation for what we have compared to what kids lack in other parts of the world.
Thanks for supporting this activity through pledges! We will gladly accept them on Monday as well! The SPIN Club will be forwarding all money to "WE Schools".
